Rene's Cowboy Invitation

Hello Everyone,

I know we have been showcasing the Cri-Kits.com gel pens for the last week. But this post is for my Design Team assignment for PIO (Pile It On Challenge Blog). Our assignment was: A Little Bit Country and Rock N' Roll.

So On To The Project

Here is the invitation I made for a friend who is throwing a baby shower. The boots on the background paper are from the new Kah Wink E Dink digital stamp collection!

Here is a view of the inside of the invitation. I blurred out the personal information for this post. It really doesn't look like that :-)

Here is a close up of the cute Cowboy bear image yours truly created :-). I glued some hemp down for his lasso. I love how it gives a little dimension to the project.

So here are the challenges this project applies to:

PIO: A Little Bit Country and Rock N' Roll

DaisyDoodles: Western Theme

Gingersnap Creations- spicy supply challenge: Markers

Challenge up your life - Celebrations

Charisma Cardz Challenge: Teddy Bears

Cute Card Thursday: Whateva

Please feel free to leave a comment on this post for a chance to win the Cri-Kits.com gel pens. I will be back later today with the last in our series of projects and FREE files for our wonderful giveaway!

Cri-Kits #6 Flower Medallion Card, FREE DNC File

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Here is Project #6! A Pretty Flower Medallion that you can Draw and Cut On Your Cricut or Pazzles Inspiration with these wonderful pens. You can use the designs I created on the other cutters that are compatible with the use of pens and or a pen tool :-)

Here is a view of the entire card.

Here is a close up shot. I used the Green Metallic Pen to outline and draw all the foliage. I used the Red Metallic pen for the flower petal outlines and on the inside I used their Swirl pen to "fill in" the centers. I just had to do a little bit of coloring with my Copics and Presto...Quick, Cute Card!

Here is another angle. I wanted you to see how cool using the swirl pen was with this design. It gave them a natural shade and color combination. It really looks cool up close and in person :-)

You ROCK! Card

Here is a close up angled view. This shows all the lines that the pens drew on the wings and inside the heart. I used the purple glitter pen for the lines in the wings. I used the pink for the pink heart and the green for the teal heart and to outline the purple lines. I used the gold for the crown. I did color the teal heart, the pink outline heart and the crown in with my Copics. I also colored in the outline of the wings too.

Here is the opposite angle. I wanted to show how nicely the pens did their job of coloring in the wings :-)

Here is today's project :-) I created these Wild Rose flowers and the "lace" borders with this week's "draw n cut" function in mind.

Here is a view of the complete project.

I did also create the birdcage file and the vine file as well.

Here is what the wild rose flowers looked like "hot off the press". I used the Cri-Kits glitter pens to add all the details to the flowers. Then instead of "drawing" the outline of the flower, I just cut them out.

Here is what the flower looked like after I inked them with some Blush Rose and Charcoal Chalk Ink. With all the nice detail "drawn" already, inking them was quick and easy. These reminded me a lot of stamping and then cutting out your image to get all those details.

Here is a close up shot of the "lacey border" . I "drew" it right onto the paper!

Cri-Kits #3 Project
Nursery Wall Hanging

Here is the project I completed for today's Cri-Kits.com promotion. I made this super cute nursery wall hanging. I created the draw n' cut file of the little lamb and flower. I also created the Butterflies from a file I had created a while back. I colored them in with my Copic markers.

Here is a closeup view of the butterflies. I even did the flying pattern stitching with the pens!

I had intended to use the black line around the flower and lamb as my cut line. But when I decided to add the stitching, I just kept it black and cut the picture out as a mat.

Good evening all,

So sorry this is so late today! Boy...what a day! :-) I will be glad to start again tomorrow :-)

The Word says: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. LAM. 3:22-23

Here is the project I completed for today.

It was really easy to put together. I used the Cri-Kits metallic and glitter pens to "Draw" the Sunflower and the Birthday greeting.

Here is a view of the card.

Here is an angled view to show that I pop dotted the "drawing" to give the card some extra dimension.

Here is a closeup of the flower. I wanted to show how the inside has a bunch of tiny cirlces. When I colored it in with my Copics, it ended up adding this really neat "texture" look to it. Please ignore my coloring, it sure wasn't my finest...lol!
